We’ve reached the point where there are apparently zero
boundaries on our political discourse. It occurs to us that we more often than
not hear Democrats complaining about this fact – usually in relation to the
latest tweet from President Trump – but that it is usually them who are pushing
the discourse envelope as far as it will go. Whether it’s condemning Trump as a
Nazi, slandering Brett Kavanaugh as a sex offender, or using a half-baked
definition of “racism” to smear everyone in America that doesn’t agree with
them, Democrats (and the larger left) OWN the deterioration of our political
discourse.

Now there’s this.

Despite the fact that the left flies the “Fake News” banner
every time someone asks a reasonable question about Hillary Clinton’s involvement
in the Uranium One decision, they don’t have the slightest objection to chasing
down conspiracy theories of their own. And if those theories involve the
Russians, all the better.

Case in point: Jon Cooper, the chairman of the SuperPAC
Democratic Coalition, claimed this weekend that – ahem – his sources tell him
that Putin and Trump are hanging something salacious over the head of Sen.
Lindsey Graham.

“A Republican just told me that he doubts @LindseyGrahamSC
is kowtowing to Trump (and indirectly Putin) because he’s being blackmailed
over his sexual orientation (an open secret) or even financial corruption.
Rather, he thinks it probably involves some pretty serious sexual kink,”
tweeted Cooper.

Perhaps uncomfortable with the possibility that this tweet
might not be politically correct enough for the Twitter Mob, he followed it up
with: “By the way, as an openly gay man myself, I couldn’t care less about
Lindsey Graham’s sex life (gay, straight or otherwise). However, Graham is the
Senate Judiciary Chair and there’s a strong likelihood that he’s being
blackmailed by the Russians. If so, that needs to be revealed.”

So let’s just play around with a reversal here. Imagine if
the head of some Republican SuperPAC tweeted that he had it on good authority
that the Palestinians were holding a “sex kink” over the head of new
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, and that’s why she can’t go more than a couple of
days without saying something excruciatingly offensive, if not outright
anti-Semitic. Do you think that person would still have a job by the end of the
week? No, we didn’t think so either.

But as usual, what’s good for the goose is not necessarily
good for the gander. Democrats will sweep this under the rug and go back to
pretending like they are the ones with their feet on the ground and their
politics firmly rooted in reality. Meanwhile, Day 1000 of the Russian Witch
Hunt quickly approaches.
